Uyghur Muslims from Turfan and Hami, including Emin Khoja and Khoja Si Bek, remain loyal to the Qing Empire and help the Qing regime fight the Altishahri Uyghurs under Burhān al-Dīn and Khwāja-i Jahān.

Zhaohui unsuccessfully besieges Yarkand and fights an indecisive battle outside the city; this engagement is historically known as the Battle of Tonguzluq.

Zhaohui instead takes other towns east of Yarkand but is forced to retreat; the Dzungar and Uyghur rebels lay siege to him at the Siege of Black River (Kara Usu).
